Holy shit
An entire PS5 now costs less than 64GB of DDR5 memory, even after a discount — simple memory kit jumps to $600 due to DRAM shortage, and it's expected to get worse into 2026

Memory prices are crazy. I bought 96GB of DDR5 6400Mhz sticks for $320 back in February. Now it’s $750.

64Gb of DDR4 w/ fancy RGB lights in July 2025 for ~$160. Can’t imagine paying the current prices.

I saw a listing for 1370€ for 96gb. Prices are truly insane
RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I believe I paid around $60 for the equivalent in 2015 or so.

Fuck AI. There is a use case for simple apps like chatgpt.
But, for most things you don’t need AI. Things like chat support for product/services, vibe coded app/website. Its all crap.

What was even used for the fake videos before AI? Blender? I legitimately don’t know and would like to know.

Yeah, AI video! Useless, we have humans we don’t need to burn resources on stupid.

The use case for those is doing what we could do on the internet 15 years ago ourselves but it has been so bastardised that it is too inconvenient now.

Every time I decide to upgrade my damn computer something like this happens, come on i7-5820K, just a little longer, the prices will drop any time now…

Yeah lol last time I needed a new GPU because mine died, it was pretty much the peak of Ethereum mining. I was doing lots of freelance motion graphics work at the time and needed something beefy but all these guys were buying every high spec card that came out, in bulk, to mine ETH.
Really hoping my 3090 doesn’t suddenly burst into flames in the next few months… fingers crossed.

Planning to upgrade my I7-4790K for a while now… First the GPU shortage and now this…

I got 2x32 GB for 200 € in April. Seems okay for something I am going to use for 10 years again. It was a i7 4790K to Ryzen 9 7900X transition.

Won’t someone pop this dastardly bubble? 🤬

I just hope that the power plants get built then AI collapses so we get cheap power.

I think companies would rather commit seppuku than producing cheap electricity.

Maybe the bubble pops you sooner. 😔

Wonder if this is going to turn into people cutting out catalytic converters, or stripping out copper wiring.

So glad I upgraded before this shit got so crazy.
